Early steam locomotive with support tender. Boiler rests on tender frame, and cannot be decoupled. Large spark arrestor because fired with wood. Original colours unknown, but dark blue looks just right.
at Roaring Camp in Felton, just before the pandemic got going.
Details on the engine according to Wikipedia:
Make: Stearns Manufacturing Company
Type: 2-truck Heisler
Built: 1899
Name: Tuolumne
"Built in 1899 for the Hetch Hetchy Valley and Yosemite Railroad for use at the sawmill of West Side Flume and Lumber Company near Tuolumne City. First named Thomas S. Bullock after the first general manager of the West Side Flume and Lumber Company, the locomotive was purchased for Roaring Camp in 1962 for $7,000. It is the last steam engine used in the commercial lumber business in Tuolumne, California, and the oldest Heisler still in operation."
Here is what I can make of the hand written caption on the back. "Oakland Pier The 4-6-2 skyline casing from train 255 Coast Daylight backs toward the roundhouse after being cut off the head end. Return to Richard Steinheimer". I assume Steinheimer was the photographer.

BoilingMan commented on Train Orders:
Those bridges crossing the tracks are Grand Ave approaching the Bay Bridge. The RR ramp on the right curves up and over the yard tracks--the photographer is standing on that bridge. This bridge was the "Red Car's" connection to the Bay Bridge.

Gauge 1 Lego model of 1813 locomotive. The loco has been redesigned several times during its long work life from 1813 to 1862. The model shows the last form, which is on display in the London Science Museum, and of which there is a detailed, working replica from 1906 in the Deutsches Museum, Munich.

I recall in the fifth grade the teacher in the late fifties allowed us to see from our school windows the last voyage of a steam engine. Could this be the one?
The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.
The 4F was the final development of the long-used Midland Railway 0-6-0 design of various power classifications. The class eventually totalled 772, 197 were built by the Midland with the London Midland and Scottish Railway building a further 575 locomotives.
No. 3924 entered service in 1920 and of the 4 members of the class preserved, is the only built by the MR. It was numbered 43924 on nationalisation and was finally withdrawn by British Railways in June 1965, being sold to Woodham Bros. of Barry in South Wales.
After displaying much enthusiasm and persistence, a small band of enthusiasts finally gained permission to purchase the engine from Woodham’s scrapyard. 43924 has a special place in preservation history by becoming the first of over 200 locomotives to be rescued from the cutters torch at Woodham’s. lt arrived at Haworth in the summer of 1970 but after so many years out of traffic required and missing many parts, a complete overhaul was needed before being able to re-enter traffic. After a successful steam test, the engine started its preservation career in earnest in 1974 and was finally purchased by the KWVR from the original band of enthusiasts (The 4F Society) in 1990.
Withdrawn in 1987, the 4F returned to service after a thorough overhaul in 2011 and has been a regular and popular performer ever since.

.......I took my dad to see this. He got a great video of the whole thing as it passed by. What a way to spend Fathers Day!! The engineer really poured on the smoke, too. My shot from yesterday hardly had any smoke and steam as it went by. This was awesome. Below are the approach shots. He sped through this location again. Had to work fast!
Hope all you fathers out there had a great day :-)

Santa Fe 2-10-4 #5000, nicknamed Madame Queen.
The locomotive is tender-driven but houses an own Power Functions L-Motor to help the coupling rods and valve gear rotate smoothly.
The head lamp is lit by an old style 9V lamp and two additional 9V light bars produce a flickering fire in the fire box.
The locomotive measures 10 studs across the cab.
Madame Queen has been featured on Brick Model Railroader! Read my interview here:

I saw over 25 active steamers that day in and around Klodzko
Since I was used to see some Frence 231 & 241 in my youth I fell in love with these old PKP giants. For almost an hour I got a footplate ride, wonderful noisy and shaking experience. The automatic coal shoveler worked fine although the old and battared engine was leaking steam on many places and had to struggle hard keeping at 80 Km/h with a 4-car, DDR build, double deck unit. ...
Very friendly & skilled crew ! Difficult to get in to the depot but once you were in ... great.
